The bill will amend outdated Planning and Development Regulations to finally remove planning restrictions and allow the installation of solar panels on public buildings, including schools, without planning permission.
Following the Bill's introduction, Senator O'Reilly will then bring the bill to the Seanad for debate on Monday 28th June and said that only a handful of schools have solar panels because of the expense in putting together planning applications and such expense is not necessary.
